The Third Angel with the Second Cup of God’s wrath – Revelation 14:9-13

The Third Angel delivered the Second Cup of God’s wrath.

This Third Angel will fly around warning men not to take the mark of the beast or worship him, as doing so will bring eternal doom in hell on them.

The Third Angel preaches doom on the worshipers of the beast (Isaiah 66:22-24; Matthew 25:41 and 25:46; Revelation 19:20-20:10-15 and Revelation 21:8).

The saints alive at this time will live or die in torrid times. Taking the mark of the beast is in the short term the easy way out, but in the long term the wrong move.
